Bama is back, ahead of schedule, looking like a national title contender after throttling No. 3 Georgia 41-30 on Saturday night. But afterwards, Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban wasn't interested in such talk.

Alabama coach Nick Saban said Tuesday cornerback Simeon Castille would be punished "internally" for his early morning arrest on a disorderly conduct charge, the fourth arrest in the same off-campus bar district this summer. Saban said he had already settled on what the punishment would be but would not say if it includes a game suspension leading up to the opener Sept. 1 against Western Carolina.

Alabama coach Mike Shula has a few items on his wish list entering spring practice: a starting quarterback, improved pass protection and some more pass rushers. He'd also like to see plenty of carryover from the Crimson Tide's 10-2 season when the team returns to the practice field on Friday.
